I had not looked closely at this image in years. I don’t think it was ever quite level. I tried to get the right wall plumb when shot it. Now, if it is rotated to level the bottom, I think it tilts to the right.

The exposure is off, quite off, from the original scan in my old…[Read more]

But it has gotten mixed reviews. It was taken in the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, near Harrodsburg, Kentucky. I think the window is the star. Some reject the chairtop poking into the frame. But I’m one of those weird, vanishing, “crop-in-the-viewfinder” folks. I think the chair adds to the sense of place. COMMENTS?
